Hi,

I was also experiencing errors with using `pihole -up` and this error:

```auto
/opt/pihole/update.sh: line 108: : No such file or directory

```

This was raised previously in [Files missing after pihole update](https://discourse.pi-hole.net/t/files-missing-after-pihole-update/76227) but the issue was closed, because it looked like an issue with incompatible OS. However I was experiencing the same issue on a compatible OS (Raspberry Pi with Debian/Bookworm).

Upon a detailed inspection, the line 108 was `source "${setupVars}"` but no `setupVars` were defined anywhere, hence the error. I'm not sure how this seemingly broken file got to this state, maybe via a previous failed upgrade. I have fixed it by replacing the file's content `sudo nano /opt/pihole/update.sh` with the latest content from [pi-hole/advanced/Scripts/update.sh at 0f7803b7753b581ed747eb6398be0c78dbfdc845 · pi-hole/pi-hole · GitHub](https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/blob/0f7803b7753b581ed747eb6398be0c78dbfdc845/advanced/Scripts/update.sh)

Then rebooted the system, and `pihole -up` started to work again.

Hope this helps anyone running into the same issue.

Don't do this. Running scripts from previous versions will break things in ways that can be very difficult to diagnose.
